Buenos Aires is a city made up of an eclectic mix of architecture and city planning. However it’s not only the physical urban landscape that makes it so unique, it’s also the diverse mix of people. With centuries of immigration from all parts of the world, Buenos Aires has become a true melting pot of cultures, while at the same time firmly maintaining its distinct South American identity.
